Set forth herein are garnet material compositions, e.g., lithium-stuffed garnets and lithium-stuffed garnets doped with alumina, which are suitable for use as electrolytes and catholytes in solid state battery applications. Also set forth herein are lithium-stuffed garnet thin films having fine grains therein. Disclosed herein are novel and inventive methods of making and using lithium-stuffed garnets as catholytes, electrolytes and/or anolytes for all solid state lithium rechargeable batteries. Also disclosed herein are novel electrochemical devices which incorporate these garnet catholytes, electrolytes and/or anolytes. Also set forth herein are methods for preparing novel structures, including dense thin (<50 um) free standing membranes of an ionically conducting material for use as a catholyte, electrolyte, and, or, anolyte, in an electrochemical device, a battery component (positive or negative electrode materials), or a complete solid state electrochemical energy storage device. Also, the methods set forth herein disclose novel sintering techniques, e.g., for heating and/or field assisted (FAST) sintering, for solid state energy storage devices and the components thereof.

A gas turbine engine article includes a substrate and an environmental barrier coating (EBC) system disposed on the substrate. The EBC system includes, from the substrate, a dense bond coat layer, a porous bond coat layer, and a topcoat layer in contact with the porous bond coat layer at an interface. The porous bond coat layer includes a matrix, oxygen-scavenging gas-evolution particles dispersed through the matrix, and engineered buffer pores. The oxygen-scavenging gas-evolution particles react with oxygen and generate a gaseous byproduct that diffuses through the interface to escape the EBC system. The engineered buffer pores buffer diffusion of gaseous byproduct to the interface by retaining at least a portion of the gaseous byproduct.

A coated component, along with methods of its formation and use, is provided. The coated component may include a substrate having a surface, a first refractory layer on the surface of the substrate, a silicon-based bond coating on the first refractory layer, and an environmental barrier coating on the silicon-based bond coating. The silicon-based bond coating includes a silicon-phase contained within a refractory phase such that, when melted, the silicon-phase is contained within the refractory phase and between the surface of the substrate and an inner surface of the environmental barrier coating.

A method includes forming a ceramic matrix composite component by infiltrating an array of ceramic-based fibers with a ceramic-based matrix; forming a plurality of cooling holes in the ceramic matrix composite component; applying a slurry of particles in a carrier fluid to the ceramic matrix composite component such that the slurry passes through the cooling holes and wicks into the ceramic matrix composite material; and processing the ceramic matrix composite component to remove the carrier fluid, thereby leaving a filler at a wall surface of the plurality of cooling holes. A component is also disclosed.
